Abstract

See full text

A method for analyzing image identifications. An optical character recognition (OCR) identification of an image, an associated confidence value, and a photograph of the image are received. After determining that the received confidence value is below a predefined threshold, a data store is searched to find OCR identifications matching the received OCR identification. If the searching fails to find a matching OCR identification, then a manual agent males a correct identification of the image in the received photograph; otherwise a search score associated with each OCR identification is received. If no received search scores is above a predetermined threshold, then the message is sent to the manual agent for correct identification; otherwise the correct identification is determined based on the OCR identifications associated with the search scores above the predetermined threshold and the correct identification thus determined is subsequently transmitted to a billing system.
